The Bell Witch – Tennesse

The Bell Witch, sometimes mistaken for the Blair Witch, began her rule over a family back in the 1600s. It began when a man named John Bell shot a "rabbit-dog creature" in his backyard. He didn't think much of it until his family began to experience tapping on doors and windows, sheets being ripped off of their beds in the middle of the night, and random voices permeating their home. President Andrew Jackson even visited the family, who was national news because of the haunting, and he ran out of there without saying why. Apparently, the Bell witch caused John to commit suicide.
